Baseball. Baseball. And then a bit more baseball.Thu, 22 Feb 2018 05:48:59 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/By: gloccamorrahttp://mlb.nbcsports.com/2013/11/25/randy-wolf-auditioned-for-eight-teams-last-week/#comment-618013

There’s always room for a lefty in the bullpen who can get lefty hitters out, and in fact there’s a shortage of loogys in the majors. At 37 Wolf is well positioned to make some pin money for a couple more years, and it’s always nice to make Baseball Reference look foolish listing his “last game” prematurely.

Mon, 25 Nov 2013 16:46:01 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=504869#comment-617671Good, as I had hoped the my Mets would be interested and they’d qualify.

I’m thinking you could sign him for next to nothing, so nothing to lose. And if you are willing the give him the benefit of the doubt that his lousy 2012 was the result of the arm problems that eventually led to Tommy John surgery, you might conclude he’d be worth a shot. In the years immediately prior to 2012, he was respectable and threw 200 innings.

Allowing some slippage due to his current age of 36, it’s plausible he could throw 180 innings of 4.50 ERA ball. And that’s valuable these days. Ask Jason Vargas. And if he’s lost it, cut him in spring training, no big deal.

Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:31:53 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=504869#comment-617622I would watch that show.

A stat-head GM, a former player (Who wasn’t as good as people remember him to be), and a old time Scout with a mouth full of chewing tobacco and a mouth like a sailor, all behind a podium judging and criticizing players. Fans would be charged 2.99 a text to vote our opinions. You would have the good looking ball players who could hit the ball a mile, but in reality couldn’t hit a curve ball. You’d have pitchers who could throw mid 90’s but couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. And you’d have the ugly step child of baseball, the sub-mariner throwing low to mid 80s with the nastiest stuff you’ve ever seen but never getting any votes because he isn’t “marketable”. And the winner would be signed to a AAA contract for the MLB team that missed the playoffs last season. It would be FANTASTIC!
